I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a bird:I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train and
It's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see

It may sound absurd:but don't be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed:but won't you conceed
Even Heroes have the right to dream but
It's not easy to be me

Up, up and away:away from me
It's all right:You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy:or anything:

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It's not easy to be me.

I just love this song, its the self humbling spirit of the song. Or is it because I'm always permanently depressed over non-existent troubles? Hmnn.. I'll try to figure it out..
Today I msged someone and I got so pissed/depressed/bored all rolled into one that I started watching this Channel I's Indian movie. Turned out it was the much talked about "Lagaan" and I finally finished watching the movie I think like 3 or 4 hours later it seemed like an eternity before it was over.
The movie was about the oppression of an Indian village by who else but the British colonial governor and yeah I guess its set in around the time of India's struggle for independence. So this village's governor of sorts is a British captain and somehow he sets a challenge to Bhuvan a young man. That if Bhuvan can form a team of villagers and win in a game of cricket against the British team, then Captain Russell will cancel Lagaan for 3 years. Lagaan refers to taxes which was already quite unfair because it was the Indians who were toiling and harvesting the grain and yet most if not all of their grain went to Great Britain instead, I guess this is called a self sustaining economy or something like that.
So the hero Bhuvan shocks the whole village by accepting the challenge. (if he loses the whole PROVINCE, not village will pay triple Lagaan) Yeah and as the story evolves, Bhuvan slowly forms his team including his "girlfriend's" father and an outcast or untouchable who was incidentally a cripple. In the end the cripple would prove to turn the British tide...
Well if you somehow manage to get hold of the VCD (no real special effects so DVD is a bit stupid) I recommend that you watch it. Of course there are the usual dances and songs but its much less dumb and stupid than the normal Indian movies I've watched. It has a much more serious and political meaning to it. Oh yeah make sure there are English subtitles, Channel I screened it with subtitles :)

What a day...
